Company
Qualcomm India Private Limited
Job Area Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Software Engineering
Overview As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm Software Engineer, you will design, develop, create, modify, and validate embedded and cloud edge software, applications, and/or specialized utility programs that launch cutting-edge, world class products that meet and exceed customer needs. Qualcomm Software Engineers collaborate with systems, hardware, architecture, test engineers, and other teams to design system-level software solutions and obtain information on performance requirements and interfaces.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 4+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 3+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience.
2+ years of work experience with programming language such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc.
Role Summary As a CPU Power Management FW Developer, you are responsible for working with a team on the enablement of the power management solution for Qualcomm's custom CPUs. You will collaborate internally to help define and implement embedded firmware to manage operation of the CPU subsystem within the allocated power and thermal budgets. You will also be responsible for helping characterize and tune this solution for all Qualcomm SoCs utilizing Qualcomm custom CPUs.
In CPU Power Management FW developer role, with focus on limits management, you will be working closely both with the hardware power management and firmware development teams. You will have an opportunity to engage with third parties on enablement of new platforms, as well as providing input to our SoC and platform architects on future designs.
Responsibilities
Drive the firmware design, implementation and verification, in pre-silicon and post-silicon environments.
Assist in the definition Limits management solutions for future generation of Qualcomm CPUs.
Actively engage with open source communities to contribute support for processor architectures, device drivers, and firmware features
Assist in identifying skills requirements and in hiring engineers, collaborating with other teams on platform bring-up/debug/diags, firmware lifecycle, etc.
Preferred Qualifications
BS/MS in Electrical, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science (or equivalent professional experience) with 8 to 12 years experience in embedded firmware development
Self-starter who takes initiative and brings technical leadership
Proficient writing and debugging C and assembly
Driver development experience in RTOS or OS Kernel environments
Demonstrated development experience with embedded OSes such as Zephyr, eCos, uC/OS or FreeRTOS
Experience developing for pre-silicon environments including simulators and FPGA emulation
Experience developing, characterizing and tuning solutions for power limiting, thermal limiting for an SoC subsystem will be a considerable plus.
Familiarity with ARM v8 architecture. Development experience for a ARMV8 platform is a plus.
Physical Requirements
Frequently transports between offices, buildings, and campuses up to ½ mile.
Frequently transports and installs equipment up to 5 lbs.
Performs required tasks at various heights (e.g., standing or sitting).
Monitors and utilizes computers and test equipment for more than 6 hours a day.
